In line with the mandate of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to promote the welfare of the vulnerable sectors of the Philippine society, the DSWD has come up with a project titled “Sing for Me: A Call for Peace and Unity”, for the benefit of disadvantaged Filipino children.
The project seeks to raise awareness on the plight of disadvantaged children, to raise funds, and to mobilize and unify the government, private sector and the citizenry in addressing their needs through the holding of a simultaneous community singing participated and led by choirs that have achieved international recognitions, Metro Manila chorales and other singing groups from all over the country.

We have launched “Sing for Me” last September 22, 2007 at the Quezon City Hall and the main event will be held on December 9, 2007. Here, we aim to solicit the participation of various choral groups all over the country and in Filipino communities worldwide. A possible tie-up with Channel 7 will facilitate its simultaneous broadcast all over the country and maybe abroad (we also aim that this event would qualify in the Guinness Book of World Records of the biggest number of people gathered, and singing together at one time). Bi-monthly concerts are currently being held at SM Malls and/or venues identified by local government units in Metro Manila as preludes to the Main Event.
